Nassau County, Florida

Welcome to beautiful Nassau County, located in the northeast corner of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean and Interstate 95. We are proud to serve as the Eastern Gateway to the Sunshine State. From our historic island, sandy beaches, and championship golf courses to our scenic rivers, green pastures, and majestic timberlands, we truly offer something for everyone.

10/13/17 @ 4:40 p.m. - As of Thursday, October 12th, a total of 52,848 cubic yards of storm debris has been collected in Nassau County since the start date of September 18th.

​Due to the widespread amount of debris, the contractor has not been able to provide an exact schedule for pickup. However, we were notified today that the first sweep for removal of vegetative debris on the island will be done by Monday, October 23rd.

​Attached is a list reflecting roads that the contractor has begun clearing, however please note that none of these roads are complete yet.

​Beginning Monday, October 23rd, a majority of the trucks will move off the island to focus on vegetative debris for the areas east and west of I-95.

​As a reminder, two drop off sites have been established for citizens who wish to deliver their debris in lieu of waiting for a contractor, or for those residing on private roads. Both sites will accept vegetative debris free of charge with proof of residency. Neither bagged debris nor construction debris will be accepted at the sites. Contractors are NOT authorized to use these sites:

Bailey Road Maintenance Yard located at 3163 Bailey Rd in Fernandina Beach. Open seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Hilliard Maintenance Yard located at 37356 Pea Farm Road in Hilliard. Open seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. (Note: there was an attempt to only open this site open on Saturdays and Sundays due to lack of use, however drop off has increased so the site has re-opened to 7 days per week)

We will make announcements at a later time regarding second sweeps for vegetative debris. ​It is undetermined at this time when the contractor will have haul trucks available to pick up the construction debris.

I live in Arbours of Amelia. Corner Lumina Court & Caprice Lane. Our branches have been picked up. I thank you. We were told within the next week our leaves and all debris in roads would be picked up. I am wondering if that is truth. The leaves in the road area is going into pond probably which could also Be hazardous. I am not complaining because I still see areas much worst than ours. Just wondering. Thank you, Judy Ankersen

I am unsure. Did someone picking up the debris indicate they would be back within the next week? If they only picked up a portion of the debris on your road and plan on coming back for the rest, then it's definitely a possibility. However, our understanding is they anticipate being finished with their first sweep by Monday next week. They will be doing a second sweep after all the roads have received the first sweep.

I do not understand the meaning of the map?

The map just reflects the various areas where they have worked. However it can be hard to read due to the overlapping pin points (red dots). The best way to see where they've been is to review the attached list of roads included in this article. We will continue to post updates every few days.
